| Safety
and Health at Work for People with Disabilities The successful implementation of policies regarding health and safety at the workplace and risk prevention constitutes a major challenge for companies and businesses. However, in spite of the regulatory and implementation advances made in this field, the current legislation does not tackle with sufficient thoroughness the issues presented by workers with disabilities, who may encounter particular difficulties at work due physical, biological, and environmental conditions and to the specific risks that arise from these conditions.
This CDROM was developed as a result of work co-funded by the European
Agency for Health and Safety and the ONCE Foundation, in collaboration
with the Fundosa Group and USEL. The partnership undertook an ambitious
European project that wished to contribute to alleviate the lack of specificity
when it comes to health and safety at work for people with disabilities.
The project worked to develop a complete Occupational Health and Safety
Management System, suitable for SME’s, with special emphasis on
workers with disabilities, thus contributing to improvements in their
quality of working lives and therefore advancing fuller integration in
society. |
